It really is fantastic for a lot of use cases. Superglue and epoxy are also mainstays, but they tend to be brittle. All have their place.

Yeah, the shear strength of super glue just isn't great if you're trying to fix things (like the hinge flap of iPad case) that gets repetitive use. However, scoring/sanding + super glue THEN epoxy or cement can help when joining smooth surfaces together. Also it's great for holding shit together while you wait for the other glue to cure
